Over the years, there have been many stars who have forged greatness on the green, from Alfredo Di Stefano to Johan Cruyff, Ferenc Puskás to Lev Yashin, Zico to Michel Platini, there are too many names that one can remember.

But when it comes to listing the greatest players of all time, they all get dwarfed by two names, Pele of Brazil and Diego Maradona of Argentina.

This is because apart from exemplary skills and achievements that both can be proud of, leading their respective countries to World Cup titles ensured that their names are written in golden letters in the annals of football history.

On 18 December 2022, another name joined the rare and exclusive list of all of them. Lionel Messi. Not that his silky dribbling skills, innumerable goals at club and international level, weren’t enough to earn him legendary status, but a World Cup win was just the stamp he needed to become an everlasting great.

Messi and his great rival Cristiano Ronaldo have dazzled football fans for nearly two decades and whenever the ‘GOAT’ debate was raised for the two, the only contention was the lack of a global trophy.

Ronaldo led Portugal to the 2016 Euro, while Messi led Argentina to the 2021 Copa America, but these were continental titles.

The time needed in Qatar for these two legends, who will probably never appear on the World Cup stage again, was to win the big trophy and ultimately it was an inspired Argentina team that did the job for Messi.

The magician himself was in the lead, scoring 7 times in the tournament, including two strikes in the see-off final against defending champions France.

He broke several records on his way to the trophy, which the Argentine 36 has been grinding for a long time since the great El Diego did it for him. After finally emulating his idol, Messi is now the “Messi-ah” of Argentina.
